Not Wilder, not Joe Louis, not Ernie Shavers.
It's biomechanics, you need to lift your heel at least a bit to allow hip rotation.
EVERYBODY cheats their power with the tipping cross when they reach out too far
The hardest punchers dont reach too far from their base
You can tip over your front leg and raise your rear leg completely off the ground yet deliver enough power to ko your opponant with speed alone
Its just not the best way to throw your straight punches
You dont need to "rotate" your hips to throw a powerful strike
"Stabbing" like a spear hits harder than "throwing" like a ball but either strike can get the job done
Have a look at this fighters cross
He has a 100% KO rate
